We want to hear your voice on what true service means to you! The Intown Service Scholarship invites you to explore the vital role of service in our communities and the profound impact it has on individuals and society as a whole.
Why is service important? Contributing to your community not only strengthens the bonds we share, but it also fosters a sense of belonging and responsibility. Whether it’s volunteering at a local shelter, mentoring a younger student, or organizing community clean-ups, your actions can create ripples of positive change.
Topic
In your entry, share your personal experiences — how have you impacted someone’s life, or how have you been inspired by acts of service? We want to understand how you’ve personally impacted someone or how someone has impacted you—and the significance of giving back.
Eligibility: This scholarship is open to high school seniors who are passionate about service and eager to make a difference. Join us in celebrating the spirit of giving and applying for the Intown Service Scholarship today!
